Technical Activity (15 mins)

Using a square split the players into two groups. One group is inside the grid and the other group is spread around the outside of the grid. The players around the outside have a ball at their feet, and the inside players do not. For 45 seconds, the inside group checks to a player on the outside, receives a pass, and passes it back to the same person. Then they’ll find a new person on the outside to repeat the sequence. Running through a gate in the middle before finding the next player helps. Switch the groups.

Patterns to work on:

•Right foot only two touch

•left foot only two touch

•receive with one foot pass with the other

Receive from one player and then pass to an open player
